> I get the feeling that most math-involving Wikipedia pages are simply compound regurgitations of various textbooks. You are absolutely right, because writing quality original work takes effort, and writing quality original maths work takes 100x more effort. > This is kind of a cop-out Call it whatever you want, but the fact remains that some subjects are more complex than others. Complex matters take more effort to write about, and there's fewer people qualified to write about them. When these two factors come together, you see regurgitated stuff. If you think that everything is equally simple if you explain it the right way, you're sorely mistaken about the nature of reality. All this reminds me that I shouldn't be spending my own effort on HN :D
